Arcadis : achieves international cyber security
About this update from Arcadis Nv
Arcadis, a global leader in sustainable design, engineering, and consultancy solutions, has announced it has achieved the IEC 62443 2-4 certification through TÜV NORD's Cyber Competence Center. One of the first organizations in the industry to achieve the certification, Arcadis is accredited as both a System Integrator, and a Maintenance Provider at maturity level two, meaning that its clients will benefit from a 'through-life' approach to cyber security, from security design, risk management, and long-term secure operations. IEC 62443 2-4 is an international series of standards that focuses on security requirements that Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) providers must provide to clients. The standard is designed not just to be a technical feature, but a set of behaviours through a system lifecycle. Sandra Konings, Global Information Security Officer, Arcadis, said: " It is no secret that we live in a world where infrastructure and industrial control systems are being threatened and targeted with increasing frequency." " Operational Technology organizations require robust and resilient cyber security to safeguard data and assets, where Industrial Control Systems are critical to day-to-day activities. By achieving this certification, Arcadis provides the confidence our clients need to keep those assets secure, no matter what sector they operate in. "
